We spent the next few days on cloud 9 trying decide on how to tell both our families. We decided to tell Hector's mom, dad and sister first on Sunday and try to plan a trip to Midland soon to tell my family in person.
We met Travis on Saturday for lunch at a restaurant and told him he was going to be an uncle. We also asked him to see if he could get the scoop on what my parents were doing the next weekend so we could surprise them by just showing up in Midland. Travis was very excited for us and was a little confused at first when I told him he was going to be an uncle. Then he realized that we were going to have a baby and he got a little teary eyed. Travis has always loved kids so I knew he would be happy for us.
We went shopping to find a gift to give Hector's family to break the news to them. We decided on diapers for Bianca and a photo book of babies and a book called the "10 commandments for grandparents" for Hector's parents. On Sunday we went to his parents house for lunch. We snuck our gifts in the house and visited with everyone like we always do when we go over there. Lunch wasn't quite ready yet so Hector told his family that we went to the mall and saw something we really thought they would like so we got them a present. He also told Bianca that we didn't want her to feel left out so we got her something too. Everyone came to the living room to open their gifts. Bianca got her diapers opened first and she looked at me and asked if this was some sort of joke - I ignored her and watched her parents open their gifts. The photo book came out first then the other. I already had big tears of joy in my eyes when they looked at me and I noticed they were crying too. We all hugged and cried and celebrated.
